Interest in the EB 5 visa returning with 75 investors from July through September 2020

Following the increase to the minimum investment in a targeted employment area, from US$500,000 to US$900,000 in November 2019 [see here, here and here], interest in the EB-5 immigrant investor visa significantly dropped in early 2020.    Data from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) on quarterly filings indicated that only 61 investors filed I-526 Petitions from January through June 2020.

New data just released by USCIS reveals that 75 investors filed I-526 Petitions in the last quarter of 2020 (July through September 2020); more investors than in the previous two quarters combined.  This is a good sign that interest in the EB-5 program is returning.

By making a qualifying investment into a business in the U.S., the EB-5 immigrant investor visa can be one of the easiest, quickest ways for a family to immigrate to the United States.   Enterline and Partners has years of experience and representing hundreds of investors to navigate through the process.

DOS Will Now Require Immigrant Visa Applicants to Interview in Place of Residence or Country of Nationality

The United States Department of State (“DOS”) is now requiring immigrant visa applicants to apply for immigrant visas in the consular district designated for their place of residence or in their country of nationality. Effective immediately, if an immigrant visa applicant would like to transfer his or her pending immigrant visa case to a new consular district after the National Visa Center (“NVC”) has scheduled an interview appointment, the applicant should contact the NVC directly through the public inquiry form and not the Embassy or Consulate. In addition, if an immigrant visa applicant requests to be interviewed at an Embassy or Consulate outside their country of nationality, the NVC may request additional information to confirm that the location is the applicant’s place of residence or to confirm if an exception may be warranted. The DOS may make rare exceptions for humanitarian, medical emergencies, or other foreign policy considerations. For more

Learn who can you sponsor as a U.S. citizen for family-based visas. While the U.S. family-based immigration system offers a way for U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (“Green Card Holders”) to sponsor relatives, not everyone can be a sponsor and not all family members qualify. In this guide, we will explain cases where a sponsor can or cannot sponsor a family member to immigrate to the U.S., and why obtaining trusted legal advice is an essential first step in family immigration. Who Can a Citizen Sponsor? To sponsor a family member, you must meet certain requirements set by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). Sponsorship is typically available to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (“Green Card Holders”), but who can a U.S. citizen sponsor for a green card also depends on your relationship to the individual family member. You may be eligible to sponsor a family
